14 NOVEMBER, 7 PM | Farrs Dalston
Cine Brazil in partnership with Cinema Mentiré invites you to the screening of Brazilian sci-fi The Pink Cloud (A nuvem rosa), 2021, by Iuli Gerbase.
A mysterious and deadly pink cloud appears across the globe, forcing everyone to stay home. Strangers at the outset, Giovana and Yago try to invent themselves as a couple as years of shared lockdown pass. While Yago is living in his own utopia, Giovana feels trapped deep inside. Any similarity with reality is mere coincidence, or not.
Iuli Gerbase is a Brazilian writer and director. Her debut feature film, The Pink Cloud, premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, in the World Dramatic Competition. The film made Variety’s list of the 15 Best Films from the Sundance Film Festival, where they called it “a refined, accomplished debut”.
Film director Iuli Gerbase will join us after the screening for an in-person Q&A.
Join us on the 14th of November at 7 pm
THE PINK CLOUD
(A nuvem rosa)
Set in a present-day Brazilian metropolis, The Pink Cloud begins with protagonists Giovana (Renata de Lélis) and Yago (Eduardo Mendonça) in the midst of a playful, seemingly inconsequential one-night stand. When they wake up the next morning, it’simmediately clear something is off. Yago shows Giovana a notification on his phone, to which she replies it “must be a joke” before nodding off to sleep again. Seconds later, an alarm begins blaring through the city, accompanied by a droning announcement: “Close all the windows and doors immediately.” There’s an encroaching shade of pink on the sky’s horizon, the titular cloud which will slowly envelop this city—and the entire world—in a toxic gas that can kill anyone who breathes it in ten seconds.
